Children then went down to the ballroom where the fair was taking place and could decorate Christmas biscuits and get their face painted by Dragon Fly Designs. Everyone was happy and smiling and the children really brought a lot of Christmas spirit to the event.

In the ballroom the fair proved to be a huge success with over 28 stall holders all varying from: Local cheese, pork, cupcakes, artists, jewelry, toys, gifts, cards and much more. We transformed the anteroom into a cafe where we served a selection of mulled wine, cakes, soup and hot dogs.

Through out the day there were over 300 people to share the day with us making the whole event a wonderful occasions for all.

We hope to have another Fair next year and make it an annual event!

There is so much in the media about the escalating cost of a wedding, but we don’t think an amazing wedding has to be the most expensive wedding – we want to know what you think really makes a wedding a memorable event?

Some say it’s the food, others the music. The more cynical wedding guests often comment on the length of the ceremony!

Everyone tries their hardest to make their wedding unique and memorable; not only for the bride and groom, but also for the wedding guests.

At Walcot Hall we obviously think the venue is an important aspect of any wedding.

Much has been made in recent years of the ongoing quest for wedding parties to find ever more unusual, unique wedding venues for their special day. From movie locations, to castles, to national trust follies, wedding guests always remember and appreciate a wedding ceremony held somewhere special; and Walcot Hall is no exception.

We at Walcot Hall, pride ourselves on being able to offer one of Shropshire’s premier most unique wedding venues. If it’s beauty you want, our Georgian country house and stunning landscaped grounds, offer an exclusive wedding setting that is hard to beat.

If it is history you want, Walcot Hall was the erstwhile residence of Lord Clive of India. The ballroom as a setting for the wedding will leave happy memories in the minds of your guests for many years to come.

Our experience in organising weddings will ensure that we can provide you and your wedding guests an affordable yet unique day. Your guests can leave the wedding reception from the ballroom and then stumble up to our Shropshire holiday apartments to sleep the day off!

It comes equipped with: a cosy double bed , quirky furnishings, gas cooking stove and outdoor campfire. Imagine being totally isolated, snuggled up by the fire looking up at the stars. You really can let you hair down and forget about day to day life when your here.

There are two secret fishing pools not far away which you are welcome to fish in, the fish are only tiddlers but it makes for a fun packed afternoon.

The first show held at Walcot Hall was Pride and Prejudice on the 21st July . Quite possibly Jane Austen’s most popular classic novel. Heartbreak’s fresh and contemporary adaptation from its writer in residence, David Kerby Kendall highlighted the wit, fun and absurdities of the characters. Intermingled with period dance, music and song making it enjoyable for all the family!

The evening of Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare on August 17th was slightly better weather but the very up beat 1920′s influence was sure to distract you from feeling any cold! Singing, dancing and glorious costumes were on display. The cast consisted of just five members which is pretty incredible when you consider the character changes they had to under go through out the evening! The audience however stated they were none the wiser to this, which therefor shows their brilliant acting skills all round!

Audience members started arriving from 6′oclock to enjoy the gardens, beautiful scenery and settle down to a picnic. Wonderful 1920′s music was playing whilst people arrived giving a very upbeat and lively atmosphere. This defiantly got people in the mood for when the play started at 7.30.

We hope that they will come again next year and perform some more fantastic shows for us. And of course we hope you will join us!
